On going to bring in some hard cat food that had got left out in the rain,for about an hour..I found it covered in slugs! This was about a month ago too,and so not even into the dreaded slug invasion time! Maybe this could be a good way to attract them,and "rehome" !! I always feel guilty drowning them in beer traps!

Yep and what a terrible waste of beer too, I think you could have stumbled on some thing here, so long as it dont attract unwanted virmin or all the cats in the neighbourhood.


I found last year old pine needles from under cedar trees made a good mulch and kept the slugs from eating my hostas.

What a good idea linda. We sometimes put some hard dog food out for our visiting foxes but I'll try putting some near my hosta shoots. Then I can collect all the slugs up and put them near my little pond to give the frogs a good breakfast !
Bread works a treat. Watched my dad do this last summer and about 10 appeared in no time. Something to do with the yeast I think.

I take it,the bread has to be wet CT, makes the yeast smell more? Any "beat the slugs" tips are invaluable,thanks folks.
